Oh damn this is good. 24/192 playback is certainly not an issue and this little player has brought new life into my HD595 that were just gathering dust. I wonder how it's going to sound with an amp, say, perhaps a PB2 with topkit?

This DAP is just phenomenal, will post more impressions as I get more listening time!

Not a good start for iBasso..... Both screen protectors are utter crap. One was disgustingly scratched all over, the other was a pain in the arse, and the bit you pull off left sticky stuff on the protector. Not good.

It also refuses to do anything with my micro SD card... I'm getting the weirdest sense of déjà vu....

Congrats Soren, enjoy your new player and please come back quick with your impression.

Mine just worked, with the MicoSD card that just worked in my DX50. In the video I posted you can actually see the very first scanning it does on that card.

jamato8, many thanks for your original review and for all the info and helpful descriptions about the DX90. Without them I'd never have bought one, and I'd certainly have missed out. Mine was delivered by DHL in Ireland at 10:30 BST this morning, after a fine trip via Delhi, Leipzig, East Midlands UK. The scenic trip appears to have done nothing but good> A bit of tension now and again is good for us all.

Well done iBasso: the DX90 is a great unit, beautifully contructed, nice and solid. I first listened to the Linn's Super Audio Collection Volume 4 sampler. There''s some lovely music on that. It's nice and varied with some folk, jazz and classical tunes. I was delighted. More details later when I get a chance.

Well done DHL for getting the DX90 here in good time, all things being considered. Thanks also for and for giving my heart aworkout.

Detail retrieval is clearly better than the DX50, as is imaging and layering. Color me impressed - very, very impressed. Everything is in it's right place and it's amazingly easy to just pick out the different elements of the sound. It sounds soooo clear, so very realistic. I don't have a DX100 handy for a direct comparison but I'll do my best to borrow one soon so I can do a direct shootout.

(This is using the PB2, so I'm only comparing the DAC sections here, not the amps.)

Is the soundstage noticeably wider to you Soron than DX50 ? By a lot or a little?
